EOScard

Contents

Start with an SD card formatted either FAT16 or FAT32. The type to use will depend on the card size and when your camera was released. More information available here : Prepare_your_SD_card . Do not use a card formatted exFAT - CHDK will not boot from cards with that format.

Download EOScard.exe from the link given below. Note that it is a standalone .exe file - there is no installation procedure.

Insert your SD card into your PC's SD card reader.

Click on the EOScard.exe file to run it.

For the following instructions, refer to the screenshots posted below.

You should see your SD card "drive" in the pull down box in the upper left of the EOScard window. If not, click on the box to get a list of everything EOScard thinks might be an SD card and select yours. CAUTION : do not select one of your hard disk drives! Check the size - it should match that of your SD card if you have made the right selection.

Click on the CHDK logo / button in the lower left of the EOScard window to select CHDK mode rather than ML (Magic Lantern) mode.

The File system buttons on the left hand size should now correctly show the file type you used in step one of this process.

Click on the check boxes to select BOOTDISK and to disable EOS_DEVELOP and SCRIPT.

The word BOOTDISK should be in the text box beside the BOOTDISK label.

For FAT16 cards, the hex offset beside the BOOTDISK text box should say 0x040. For FAT32 cards the hex offset should say 0x1E0.
